New router build advice...

The vertical machine idea is interesting, and I don't see that loading would be any more difficult - if I was working solo I'd just add some rollers on the lower side of the bed to ease feed-in, and maybe make a wee trolley kind of thing so I could roll sheets around on their edge at the right height. One thing it likely would need is some serious vacuum though to get good hold down as gravity won't be helping much. BTW Jazz, is the X (long) axis drive standard ballscrew on the machine in the video? - couldn't really see easily.

The machine in the video didn't have Vacuum because budget wouldn't allow for it and the customer is happy screwing/clamping material down. It's mostly cutting signage materials.

Yes it's using standard 25mm ballscrews with BK bearings.

I'm currently building a 10 x 5 with ATC and vacuum bed that uses Rotating ballnuts which I'll post a video of when done.
